GLOBAL G-17 27 cm Cook's Knife

The GLOBAL G-17 27 cm Cook's Knife is one of the largest chef's knives in the GLOBAL G Series. Designed for demanding tasks, batch preparation and professional use, its 27 cm blade provides a generous cutting surface and excellent capacity for working with larger ingredients.

Made in Japan with GLOBAL's distinctive seamless stainless-steel construction, the G-17 combines precision, balance and a design developed to deliver reliable performance in professional kitchens.

A 27 cm blade for large-scale preparation

The 27 cm blade makes the GLOBAL G-17 an excellent choice for chefs who need a larger cutting surface and are comfortable working with long chef's knives.

It is suitable for chopping, slicing, dicing and preparing vegetables, fruit, meat, fish, herbs and other ingredients. Its extra length is particularly useful when preparing large quantities of food or working with larger ingredients.

GLOBAL positions the G-17, together with the 24 cm G-16, among the largest chef's knives in its range, particularly suited to professional kitchens and higher-volume preparation.

CROMOVA 18 stainless steel

The GLOBAL G-17 is made in Japan from CROMOVA 18 stainless steel, a defining material of GLOBAL kitchen knives.

The steel provides good corrosion resistance and durability for regular kitchen use. The blade features GLOBAL's characteristic 15° cutting edge, designed to provide precise and efficient cutting performance.

GLOBAL's seamless all-stainless-steel construction

One of the most recognisable features of the G-17 is its seamless all-stainless-steel construction. The blade and handle form a continuous structure that makes the knife easy to clean and contributes to good kitchen hygiene.

GLOBAL's distinctive hollow handle is designed to provide good balance between the blade and handle. On the G-17, the larger format means the handle is larger and more cylindrical, making it suitable for working with a 27 cm blade.

The more pronounced bolster also provides additional protection between the hand and the blade.

Designed for professional chefs

The GLOBAL G-17 27 cm is particularly suited to professional chefs looking for greater cutting capacity and who are accustomed to using longer chef's knives.

Its size makes it especially useful for larger ingredients and high-volume food preparation, making it a strong choice for restaurants, professional kitchens and demanding working environments.

For general home use, GLOBAL generally recommends more compact models such as the G-2 20 cm or G-55 18 cm, while the G-16 and G-17 are aimed at larger tasks and higher preparation volumes.

GLOBAL G-17 vs G-16

The GLOBAL G-16 24 cm and GLOBAL G-17 27 cm are the two largest chef's knives in the G Series.

The G-16 offers a good balance between a long blade and ease of handling.

The G-17 27 cm provides an even longer blade, giving you more cutting surface and greater capacity when working with large ingredients and preparing larger quantities.

If you prefer a more compact GLOBAL knife for everyday kitchen tasks, the GLOBAL G-2 20 cm is a more versatile and manoeuvrable alternative.

Made in Japan

The GLOBAL G-17 is made in Japan, combining Japanese manufacturing expertise with GLOBAL's distinctive design.

Its seamless stainless-steel construction, hollow handle and CROMOVA 18 blade are key features of the G Series and give the G-17 its distinctive professional character.
